Chapter 5
Big 4 Code Change
Ralph woke up to find that Ray was nowhere in sight. They both crashed on his couch after the confrontation with Bowser. His clothes were gone and Ralph's overalls were folded on the chair in the corner.
"Did he just leave without saying goodbye?" Ralph thought to himself as he sat up.
His doubts were vanquished when Ray walked through the door with a tray of breakfast foods.
"Oh good you're up. Ready to eat?" Ray inquired as he sat the tray down on the coffee table.
"You made all this?" Ralph gushed as he looked at the spread in front of him.
"Well... my mom's almost never around so either I learned how to cook or starve."
"It looks great, Ray."
"Wait until you taste it."
Ray fed Ralph a piece of an omelet and waited for him to swallow.
"You need to cook more often. This is the best omelet I've ever tasted!"
"Aww Ralphy. Your too nice." They shared a quick hug before Ralph continued to eat the food his boyfriend made for him.
"Now we've got the rest of the day to ourselves. What'd you want to do?" Ray queried as he put the tray on the side of the bed.
"We could just lie here and cuddle." Ralph rebutted as he patted the spot next to him.
"Sounds good to me." Ray hopped onto the couch and snuggled up to Ralph. "
"Love you Ralphy~"
"Love you more."Ralph replied as they kept snuggling.
A week went by an Ray had gone out with Ralph about 4 more times due to the fact that he'd gotten the hang of his teleporting power. Of course Sarah got the play-by-play when she could, but had to fix some damage she let pile up in her arcade so she couldn't visit at the moment.
The league hadn't attacked during this time so Mr. Litwak got suspicious.
"We need to be ready for the next attack. You have trained right?" Litwak inquired as he wiped off a retro game's screen.
"Of course. In fact, I'm going to train with Ralph right now." Ray responded as he clocked out.
"Are you gonna train or are you gonna make out?" Litwak inquired with a smirk.
"We're gonna train... We haven't even really kissed yet." Ray retorted as he teleported to Fix-it Felix Jr.
"Ralph?! Where are you?" Ray queried as he entered the shack. Suddenly, a huge hand wrapped around Ray's body.
"Give me all your love and affection and no one gets hurt."
"But all I have are hugs and kisses."
"Well hand em over!"
"Oh Ralphy." Ray moved the hand and kissed his boyfriend on the cheek.
"You ready to train?" Ralph inquired as he stepped outside.
"You heard that huh?"
"Kinda hard not to when you always talk in front of my game." Ray blushed at this statement.
"How about we train after I rest a bit?"
"Now Ray..."
"Pweases?" Ray asked as he gave Ralph 'the puppy dog pout'.
"Okay, but only for 15 minutes." Ralph replied as he carried Ray inside his hut.
2 hours later, Ray and Ralph were sprawled out on the bed sleeping with Ray on top of Ralph's gut.
"L.O.S. Alert! L.O.S. Alert! Big 4 Warning!" Ray's gauntlet chimed interrupting their peaceful nap.
"Ugh... I'll be right back Ralphy. Don't go anywhere. This'll be quick." Ray spoke as he kissed Ralph's forehead and ran out the door.
"Looks like it's coming from Guitar Hero." Ray teleported to Guitar Hero and found the stage smashed and Heihachi standing off to the side with his arms crossed.
"I don't appreciate you taking down my general. Now you answer to me!" He took a fighting stance and made a gesture for Ray to come at him.
"OK then! Codemaster! I'm gonna wreck it!" The armor appeared and he charged Heihachi.
As he tried to land a hit, Heihachi just deflected his limbs.
"Grr... Lightning Speed Up!" Ray barked as he shot around Heihachi trying to land any hit he could, but he still blocked like a champ.
"You done? My move!" Heihachi began to assault Ray with lightning fast punches and kicks while he was struggling to block. He finally threw a hard punch to Ray's chest which caused his armor to code-out.
"What a waste of time." Heihachi spat as he teleported away.
"Ugh... What was that?" Ray spoke as he sat up and and noticed Heihachi was gone.
"The bad guy beat your ass. Isn't it obvious?" a voice from the shadows answered.
"Who are you?" Ray inquired as he limped towards the voice.
"You can call me Razor... I'm the guy who's gonna defeat the league all by myself. Although I'd never trespass on another codemaster's turf without compensation." he replied as he threw Ray a card with a picture of a cyber gun with a lightning bolt on the side.
"You need to get your priorities straight and fast." Razor scolded as he teleported out of the game.
Ray fixed the damage and teleported back to Ralph's hut.
"Babe, you okay?" Ralph inquired as Ray limped through the door.
"Yeah. Just a little banged up." He replied as he dropped on the couch.
"What happened?" Ralph inquired as he tossed Ray an old-timey looking bottle of Sprite.
"I got whupped by Heihachi. He blocked my assault flawlessly." Ray explained as he glugged the soda down with ease.
"I'm not surprised." a voice from Ralph's front door said.
"Mr. Litwak?"
"You let your guard down against a member of the Big 4, you shirked training, and you let Heihachi get away." He chastised as he threw Ralph a pair of what looked like brass knuckles.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence."
"You just need to reach the next level of the Codemaster."
"How?"
"Training." Litwak saluted the couple as he teleported back to the arcade.
"You ready, Ralph?"
"Ready for what?"
"Training"
"In your condition?"
"Codemasters heal faster in their home game, and I think you know what my home game is." Ray explained as he ran outside and did a perfect front flip.
"OK then." Ralph said as he slipped on the knuckles and took a fighting stance.
"That's enough for today. I'm beat." Ray spoke as he fell on his butt.
"Me too." Ralph replied as he fell beside Ray.
"Wanna go back home?"
"Yeah. You coming?"
"If you want me to."
"You know I do." Ralph replied as he gave Ray a kiss on the cheek.
"You big softy."
"Only for you."
"And Vanellope."
"But she's implied."
"C'mere you." They began to cuddle but Ray's gauntlet interrupted once again.
"L.O.S. Alert! L.O.S. Alert! Big 4 Warning!"
"Good! This time I'm taking it seriously." Ray stood up and shook off the fatigue.
"Maybe I should go with you. You might need backup."
"Can't argue with that logic. Let's go!" Ray grabbed Ralph's arm and teleported to Guitar Hero.
When they arrived, Heihachi was standing on the stage surrounded by 12 training bots.
"Hey look! The weakling came back and brought a wrecking ball!" Heihachi taunted from the stage.
"Time to rock! Codemaster! I'm gonna wreck it!" The armor appeared as Ralph slipped on his brass knuckles.
Suddenly, the card Razor gave Ray began to glow.
"Thunder Blasters! Activate!" Ray slid the card through his gauntlet, then crushed it spawning two blasters.
Ralph smashed the 3 in the front, then Ray springboarded off his back and took out 4 more with his blasters.
The last 5 shot lasers at Ralph, but Ray deflected them with his armor.
"Throw me up!" Ray commanded as he landed on Ralph's fists.
Ralph chucked Ray in the air and smashed 3 bots when they looked up and Ray blasted the last 2 out of existence.
"Looks like someone's been practicing, but practice is over and the real battle begins now!"
Heihachi jumped down from the stage and jabbed Ray in the chest sending him flying across the room, dropping his blasters.
"Ray!" Ralph shouted as he began to attack Heihachi in a blind rage, not landing a hit.
"Away, peasant!" He shouted as he dealt a 3 jab combo to Ralph's chest and threw him into the drums.
"Ralph!" Ray shouted as he ran towards his boyfriend.
"Are you okay?"
"I can take a hit." Ralph replied as he brushed himself off.
"I can handle it from here."
Ray stood in front of Ralph and took a fighting stance.
Suddenly, codes started uploading into Ray's helmet while a glowing white card floated in front of him. It flashed and knocked Ray out cold.
You're just a screw-up...
Just give up...
You'll never live up to your expectations...
Just die...
Huh? What was that? Ray thought as he sat in a blank room with only splashes of the words he heard written on the wall.
"This is how you think? How pathetic... And to think I'm you..." A voice snarked from behind him.
"Jack... I thought I locked you deep inside me." Ray retorted as he charged his fists with energy..
"Whoa... Normally I'd be all for a fight, but you're in the middle of one."
Ray relaxed his hands at this statement.
"Good. Now... You need to man up and stop dwelling on the past. You can't move forward if you keep looking back." Jack explained as he ripped a phrase off the wall.
"You're never the voice of reason... Why now?" Ray inquired as he felt a surge of power enter him.
"Because if we lose to this guy again, I'm gonna kick your ass. Now go!" Jack ranted as Ray regained consciousness.
Ray returned to his body and let the card float in his palm.
"What's happening?!" Heihachi shouted as he backed away.
"I finally understand what the first blank card represents. It's a clean slate. If you've done something in the past you're not proud of, you can always start over. Round 2 begins now! Code Change! Wreck-it Ralph!"
Ray crushed the card and his armor began to change.
His armor became brick red and his fists grew drastically.
"Code Card! Thunder Fu!" He crushed the card in his hand and his body surged with electricity.
Ray uppercutted Heihachi and began to rapidly juggle him in the air using different styles of martial arts.
"Thunderblast!" Ray barked as he shot a bolt of lightning at Heihachi knocking him out.
"Code down..." The armor disappeared as he walked towards Ralph.
"That was..."
"Amazing? Astounding? Some other A word? I know."
SUddenly, a darker version of the cards that Ray found in Beastman and Bowser sprouted from Heihachi's chest.
"I'll take that!" Razor bellowed as he swooped down and took the card.
"Hey! You can't just take that!" Ray barked from the drum kit.
"Can't I?" Razor shouted as he shot towards Ray and knocked the wind out of his chest.
"I payed the fee to play. Don't get in my way next time." Razor warned as he disappeared.
"Who was that guy?" Ralph inquired as he sat up.
"I don't care at this point. I'm just glad you're okay." Ralph spoke as he regained his breath.
"Same to you." Ray replied as he cleaned up the damages and teleported to Ralph's hut.
"So how'd you do that?" Ralph inquired as he cuddled with Ray in his bed.
"Well... I guess after I saw you fly across the stage, I thought 'If I had just taken care of him earlier, you wouldn't have gotten hurt.' Then, the cards just told me about Code Change."Ray lied.
"You know I can take care of myself."
"I know, but if you saw me fly into some drums, you wouldn't worry?"
"Touche. Now get over here." Ralph commanded as he kissed Ray for the first time on the lips, both of them sharing the same thought telepathically.
"I love you."
